BIG Launcher (v. 2.0.4) Разработано BIG Launcher Team |
A fast and simple Android home screen for the elderly and people with vision problems.
Or even you, if you hate millions of icons.
HOME SCREEN REPLACEMENT
The BIG Launcher replaces the common user interface of any phone with Android 2.1 or higher. It was designed for readability and easy use. It is controlled by single touches - no swipes, no long presses.
EASY TO USE PHONE
Access all the basic functions of the phone via a simple interface, where no one can get lost. Large texts and color icons help you to easily distinguish important items. The most frequently used items are at the top of the list.
BIG FONT SMS EDITOR
SMS messages are sorted in conversations; large font and color coding is used for displaying the message thread. Reply easily to any message with integrated SMS editor.
QUICKLY RUN ALL YOUR APPS
Use big shortcuts for your most used applications or find them quickly in the list with instant search. Recently used apps are at the top of the list. You can even hide the apps you don’t use to keep the list clean.
100% ACCESSIBLE
Three different color schemes and three font sizes allow you to use your phone without glasses. The whole interface can be controlled by hardware cursors and everything is read by Talkback - ideal for blind people.
FOR ELDERLY OR KIDS
Older people will love the big battery and signal indicators, direct dialing of their favourite contacts and the SOS button in cases of emergency. Full screen mode and password protection prevents users from getting lost.
HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE
Power users can set up an unlimited number of screens with apps or contact shortcuts. You can choose from lots of different icons or have a custom screen background if you want.

[2012-09-27] Anthony: Updates Can we get a tile option to view all notifications? Widgets maybe? Background option for home screen too? Also, can't delete texts messages in bulk, have to do one at a time or use stock launcher. No MMS. |
|
[2012-09-27] Casper: The best.. Simply the best there is in this category.!! Keep up the good work. :-) |
|
[2012-09-26] Rose: Love it Very senior friendly! It was JUST what i was loking for.now to find a senior friendly android keyboard for texting. |
|
[2012-09-26] Sam: The best launcher for my mum This launcher makes the phone easier for my mum to use. One request for future update: allow user to set default action when phone number has been pressed. Example when I press my mum's number, it will dial straight away rather than giving an option to send text or dial. |
|
[2012-09-25] Luke: Great stuff! I rate this 5 as it is the first app that helps peaple of all age groups get to grips with touch smart phones. I use this on my works phone (galaxy y) as for a smart phone the screen is tiny. Love it more if you can update with more colours and built in widgets? Thanks dev great work. |
|
[2012-09-21] user: Works great so far... Just wish that it came with more predownloaded icons and different theme colors to make it look more mordern. Also wish the app came with a bigger keyboard and it's own phone dialer. |
|
[2012-09-03] Dominick: Finally!!! You got that one right on... ...I am very satisfied and can't wait for the future update. Thank you again I was tired of those little icons. I am using it on my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 and works without problem. |
|
[2012-08-27] mikhail: Simple and Quick I love this launcher its fast and easy to use.. Just wish I could replace the clock with an widget.. Facebook or weather widget.. that would be nice.. |
|
[2012-08-18] Quentin: Brilliant Best large print option for android, thank you! |
|
[2012-08-17] Jason: Great Simple Launcher Finding this launcher eased my mind in finally bringing my parents into the smartphone era! One issue on Galaxy nexus - on reboot it prompts for launcher and selecting to always use Big Launcher works until the next reboot. Feature I'd like to see is a voicemail notification in addition to the flashing missed call notification. Until then, I find the full screen option useless as I need the notification bar to see the voicemail icon. Keep up the great work! |
|
[2012-08-11] Drew: I would give it 6 stars My daughter doesn't see that well and this app makes it so much better for her. There are features that I would like to see in the future but this is a more than solid place to build upon. A one touch dial contact and additional icon sets/themes would be a feature request from me. |
|
[2012-07-31] Trusty: Excellent I've tried just about every launcher and I've settled on Big Launcher. It's beautiful. Recommendations for updates for me would be an ICON for a calendar, and perhaps an email box that would flash like the text box does on incoming texts. I would prefer to use a built-in email box instead of the camera. I am using Maildroid instead of the camera on the start page, but a built-in one would be great. One other item would be to be able to make this the default launcher when docked. When I use the dock in my car, it switches to the dock launcher, then I have to launch Big Launcher after that. Superb App! |

[2012-07-30] mtb: Good for the non-technical user too! My wife is a techno-phobic, couldn't/wouldn't use a smartphone, but... with Big Launcher (and a T3 keyboard!) I was able to get her to give up the Nokia and use my old Desire so I could get my new Galaxy S3. Thanks BIG Launcher Team. |
|
[2012-07-24] am: Brilliant I was looking for a way to configure android for someone with arthritis and not used to smartphones and this is ideal. |
|
[2012-07-22] Fran: Great Perfect for any one who wants a simple interface on a smart phone as well as those with poor eyesight. |
|
[2012-07-21] Mitch Michael: Nice This is what I need |
|
[2012-07-20] Suzyplums: Great App 20.07.2012. The upgrade to BIGLauncher is brilliant. I love the multi screen, so my favourite apps stay in one place. I also really appreciate that I can edit and forward my texts. Once again thanks guys. . 05.03.2012 I love this app. I can see almost all the things I need read thanks to the large text. Thanks guys :D |
|
[2012-07-19] Doc: Deserves Six Stars!!!!! Beautiful Interface and They Thought of Everything. Absolutely the best launcher I've ever seen . Nice light footprint and superbly engineered, beautiful icons (maybe we need some HD icons but this is no big deal) and well thought out placement. |
|
[2012-07-10] Martin: Very nice app works well. Would like the option of having an alert sound on the SOS button - in case you activate in error and cannot see cout down. |
|
[2012-07-03] AdamZ: Love it! Big and simple. Love it! Need HD icons for my Note. Perhaps customizable icons in future? |
|
[2012-07-01] P: Great App! Useful for hubby with big hands who gets frustrated with little buttons. Appears on the surface to be a simple app, but it is extremely well thought out and allows the user to access all of the phone's features. Very user friendly. Thanks for making a user friendly, feature-packed app that works without flaw, all at a great price. |

[2012-06-06] Sean: Superb for small screens / big thumbs I came to this looking for something to make a cheap Android phone foolproof for an elderly relative. However I paid for the full version for my Xperia Ray. It's made a solid difference to it's usability - the interface is far more fluent and manageable than the mess of home screens, widgets and shortcuts I had before.Totally echo the sentiments of other users; *don't* be fooled by it's apparently basic nature, this is a very well thought out app. I'd like to see the same developers apply themselves to some of the other stock applications. REQUEST: I'd like to see some sort of widget support on the home / second screen. |
|
[2012-05-30] uche: Do not take this for a baby's app; A streamlined user interface helped me be more productive with my phone. Before I had widgets, home screens and just mess. |
|
[2012-05-29] Rhaum: Great app for legally blind I'm legally, but not totally blind; as such, it was difficult to see the launcher icons, or worse, things on the applications menu if I had to use it. This app is stinkin' awesome - Very big fonts, bright icons (I use the dark theme, easiest for me to see), and very customizable. Loses 1/4 star only because the phone dial pad isn't altered (though contacts and recent calls are) so dialing a number manually is still very difficult for me. All in all _definitely_ worth what little they're asking for it, heck, my cup of coffee this morning cost 3x that... |
|
[2012-05-23] Kevin: I can finally see what I'm doing , thank you,great for anybody with eye issues. |
|
[2012-05-19] RONS: Truly great app Keep up the good work |
|
[2012-05-17] Ron: Excellent launcherr for all |
|
[2012-04-27] LRW: Functional & Attractive! Finally, I can take off my reading glasses! I don't pay for many apps, but after using the free version for, like, 10-minutes, I paid for this full version. Thanks for thinking of us over-40 users! |
|
[2012-04-27] William: Great app I can now use my phone without having to use my glasses. This is a must have app for anyone. Design and buttons are large enough to help you see and use your phone. |
|
[2012-04-18] TAQ: Perfect This launcher is the only way my mom could switch to a smart phone. Very well thought out. I only ask that future versions allow expandable apps that can be scrolled downward on the home page |
|
[2012-04-16] Larry: Great App Let me start by saying that my vision is excellent. I'm just sick of apps that think 8 point font is appropriate. I can't wait 'til all of these app developers hit their 40s. This is a terrific app, no more struggling to see what I'm doing. I Love the new multiple-pages. Next version suggestion: ability to filter by frequent contacts in the phone part. Then, when you get some free time: Big Mail Client; Big RSS Reader. Keep coding, I'll keep buying. |
|
[2012-04-12] Virginia: Great app Works great on droid charge... a must have app for seniors |
|
[2012-04-05] dave: good app but........ good app but when when you turn the homescreen on after the phones in standby mode for awhile it goes to the last app you used instead of just the home screen. |
|
[2012-04-04] Roger: A godsend for visually impaired people I have low vision (I see about 20/200 with corrective lenses on) and so smartphones were very hard for me to use because I couldn't read the text on the screen without a magnifying glass. BIG Launcher has been a great app for me. It makes it very easy to do the most important basic functions that you do all the time -- looking people up in your contacts so you can call or text them, reading text messages, and launching apps. The app is customizable so that you can adjust it pretty easily to suit your specific needs. The three different text sizes will make it easy to use for people with a variety of vision issues. Sure, this app does not do everything. But it covers most of the basic functions you use all the time. Everyone will come up with their own wish list for features to add, and I hope the developers are not too overwhelmed by it all. If you look at the revision history, though, you can see that they have added a huge number of features over the last few months. So hopefully the capabilities of BIG Launcher will continue to expand. In short, BIG Launcher is a great app for making phones easier to use for the visually impaired. |

[2012-04-03] Catherine: Awsome Made this smart phone dumb enough for my mom awsome buy for helping out parents who cant grasp technology |
|
[2012-03-20] Cassius: Fun. Don't need it, but bought it. Possibly add option to have multiple home screens or allow single home screen to scroll vertically. |
|
[2012-03-09] Alvin: Awesome Highly recommend |
|
[2012-02-19] EIX: Cool Cool app. |

|
[2012-02-17] Thow: Super than symbian interface Superb |
|
[2012-02-14] sentiao: Not visually impaired I use it in the car. Also, ofcourse, it's great as a visual aid and to simplify phones for elderly people. |
|
[2012-02-13] Wayne: Big Improvement Been using this app for a while, the new extra large print is even better. |
|
[2012-02-10] Dougie Phresh: Brilliant I am a wireless sales rep. Amazing software for new users to get used to smart phones |

[2012-01-15] Vitalik: Great launcher! Nice work. Thank you! |
|
[2011-11-23] Chris: Keeps improving ... I love this launcher! Has a beautiful interface and really helps out my weak eyes. The dark theme looks great on my LG Op V. Worth every penny! |
|
[2011-10-31] Jenova20: Funny but... Funny but not many options and cant see mms. Not worth £1 |
|
[2011-10-22] Bryan Chance: Great start on this. But as it is, not quiet there yet. Suggest having your own view contact, etc. so the text and buttons can be big as well. Looking fkrward to future r |
|
[2011-10-17] Eryc: Bionic Support disappered? Was a great app until Bionic support was taken away...?? Need Bionic Support back.. |
|
[2011-10-17] Saintz: Great app for the visually impaired Great launcher, my mom wants Android because she can't see the screen on *phone please fix for Droid X. |
|
[2011-10-17] DDCarvalho: Great, but needs more customization I would like to change the SMS icon for other function (my dad and mom never send SMS's) and also the ability to put a Contact between the six main shortcuts. Also, it is not showing compatibility with the Sony X10 Mini, which is my father's phone. Any incompatibility with custom ROMs? |
|
[2011-10-16] Robert: Nice step in the right direction I love what you have done with this app. It seems great for the elderly/non-techie users. I am only 29 and legally blind. I could use a pro version... |
|
[2011-10-15] jackie: LOVE this app it help me and it great for the money i am use it everyday i am blind in both eyes love the pictures jackie |
|
[2011-10-03] Mike: Nice, but needs more flexability/customization Really nice launcher for the Android impaired! I got it for my wife ;-) If I could pick different icons and apps it would be a 5star plus app. I set up the gallery app to be the calendar, would be nice if I could change the icon. Also I don't really need the camera app, so being able to change the app on more than just the gallery button would be awesome. |
